This movie turned out to be a pleasant surprise because i wasn't that interested in seeing out and it turned out to be one of Gable's better pictures. The movie was directed by Clarence Brown who has worked with Gable several times before in movies like Possessed and Idiot's Delight. Both Gable and Rosalind Russell are professional thieves who are interested in stealing a very expensive necklace worth millions of dollars. Once they finally have it and think they are going to get away they find the police on their tail the entire way. They wind up on a boat going to Hong Kong with Peter Lorre as the captain who only cares about money and tries to turn them in for the reward. Once they arrive in Hong Kong the movie takes an unexpected turn and Gable winds up becoming a military hero. It's a pretty good movie and probably one of Gable's best.
